Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Comanche Todd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Mink (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mink is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Macho Man. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
